SR-2 is on the way from rma. Glad to know it went well. My ppd could really use it!

My 2win crew (4 cards) is quite not able to cope with the heat: 3 card setup killed two cards

Temps in the low 80s, which i considered safe when folding for the last few years, led me to say "Well you are finally set.. After so many bug and driver crashes, there you fold". The core temps were alright, but my guess is that everything else on the card did not have enough cooling, in spite of an open bench with a 230mm at full blast pushing fresh air on them (i think i did my best to keep them cool here). I've lost two cards in the last two weeks, and a third one is yet to be tested (so out of time:shadedshu). I mean, i feel like. Goddamn it is winter here! I can have 10c room temp if i want! And yet they are roasting themselves...

I wish i could tell evga: grab those four gtx 460 2win, which sadly suffer too much from barely adequate cooling (i'm talking stock clocks here), and give me three gtx 580. F**k ! I just want to fold!

My 16 cores rig is going well, cpu's are so much less of a hassle than gpu's... Installed hardware, then native linux, then set up client and forget it. SO easy... Offline for now untill i move it to heat another room.

I just picked up another 2600k but need a cooler. Anyone got a h60 or something? Another question when I started my 580 I got it with my other 2600k but only folding gpu. How many points could I pull if I start the 2600k and the 580 together? I heard the 2600 wont get as many as it did alone.Maybe I can get another 470 going today.

I'll be adding 2 GTS 450s once I receive them from Brandon. Hopefully, I can get some decent PPD back as I have been in decline for the last couple months, and I gave my 550 Ti to someone last week. Been running at stock clocks more or less on my cards to keep them from burning out as I don't want to lose any more. Losing the GTX 470 a few months back really sucked.

My Folding GPUs are back online
I'm thinking about bringing the GTX460 over from WCG---we'll see how thing settle down--I still need to overtake Norton again and then I'll have a bit more room to be flexible.

Guy's, I know you donate to F@H out of the goodness of your heart and are generous souls. Jason, the guy that runs EOC F@H Stats has also selflessly donated the database to us since 2004. He is asking for donations to help fund the amputation surgery for a local dog that was rescued. Please read the blog and donate if you can. Thanks!

[ION], the QRB's have disappeared, but the points we are getting with the current WU's has been higher than expected. When I got my GTX 560 Ti's, I estimated that my MAX PPD would be around 61K (with all my GPU's). My actual PPD has been more than 90K lately.
